Is anyone else struggling with the PSS/Festival Plaza in Gen 6/7?

For some reason, the gen 6 and 7 games are having a weird glitch where, when you go to the PSS/Festival Plaza, you can trade with passersby and access the GTS, but when you try to trade with a friend registered on your device, they never appear online, even when both of you are successfully connected to the wifi in-game?

    I think the Festival Plaza chooses random people instead of people you traded with, but if you're playing locally the plaza would just be people near you and the rest is Festival Fans (the NPCs from the tutorial).

    Also, on the PSS I think someone you play with is registered in the Acquaintance or Friend parts. Not sure if playing with someone who's already a friend on your 3DS will register them as an Acquaintance or Friend, since friending someone on the PSS registers them as friends on your 3DS.
